Mokuhanga Advanced with Lucy Schofield

Japanese woodblock printmaking (water-based) – follow on from previous course and will be at intermediary level.

Mokuhanga is perfect for artists interested in a non-toxic, table-top printmaking technique. In this two – day workshop, you will learn to develop those basic skills to transfer and carve a ‘key line’ and colour separation blocks, in the tradition of Japanese Ukiyo-e printmaking. With no press required, only a hand held barren, you will learn techniques to achieve various print effects, from ‘sesame printing’ to ‘bokashi’ (gradation), while registering your multi-block image through the simple traditional ‘kento’ system. You will be sure to fall in love with both the process and results of this accessible, water-based printmaking method which provides endless possibilities.
